Since I began my wishing crane project for Xavier (1000 folded origami cranes to grant a wish - the wish being a referral from Vietnam) I have 500 cranes as of this morning.
I don't know if it will work but it gives me something to do with my hands and with every crane I think a little more about how dedicated I am to my son and to Vietnam.
With the newest news leading many families to believe that there is a chance that Vietnam will close it's doors to us, there is no doubt that some (including me) would worry about what they will do, or where will they turn, when that happens. But each time I put another paper crane in the box I get a little bit more hopefull. My faith is renewed daily by bits of colored paper.
I want to believe that a month after I have folded the last crane, we will get that long awaited call from Los Nino's Intl.
Patience, Hope and Faith ... I take them any where they can be found.
